IN SUNSHINE AND IN STORM.
A PINNACE rode in harbor
Freighted with light and song;
The summer winds caressed her
The summer day was long;
Freighted with light and song;
The summer winds caressed her
The summer day was long;
A purple pennon fluttered
From mast-head tall and proud,
Her crimson Banner billowed
Like a fiery, sunset cloud;
From mast-head tall and proud,
Her crimson Banner billowed
Like a fiery, sunset cloud;
And one from shore was flinging
Cheers to the happy skies;
But one stood still in shadow
With longing in his eyes.
Cheers to the happy skies;
But one stood still in shadow
With longing in his eyes.
Like royal bird the Pinnace
Sailed to the eager sea;
The great, black night engulfed her
And drowned the melody.
Sailed to the eager sea;
The great, black night engulfed her
And drowned the melody.
